what size shrink tubing


Georgia

Recommended Posts

All this talk about shrink wrap has got me rethinking my pillars. I've been doing some reading and I did find this tidbit on how to figure what size shrink tubing you need...

To determine the tubing size you need, measure the circumference of the object to be wrapped and add 10%. Divide that number by 2, and this is the size of tubing you need.

Hope it helps someone.

...and, for those that may not have a flexible tape to measure the circumference.....take the candle dia. and multiply it by 3.14.... and divide by two.

Be careful....you can not round down even if it's close. If your result is 6.25" for example, you will not be able to use 6" tube :undecided
